Lender

Before you can start building your dream home you need to ensure that you have enough money to finance your project and because most people don’t have thousands just lying around you will need assistance from a lender. You will need to seek out an institution or bank to oversee the construction loan and mortgage for your new home.

Architect or designer

Most of the time your home construction project begins with stock building plans however you may need to make modifications to meet local or regional building standards or would like to make changes to fit your needs. The architect or residential designer is the person responsible for making alterations to your building plans.

Builder or general contractor

Your builder or general contractor is responsible for overseeing the construction of the project from start to finish. Your general contractor will hire, organise and oversee all subcontractors and work crews.
